New Zealand Legalizes Same Sex Marriage

On Wednesday, New Zealand legalized same sex marriage.

The country became the first Asia-Pacific country to legalize it.

Bars had been packed with people watching the vote, and celebrations began as soon as it passed.

Same sex civil unions became legal in 2005.

FBI Working to Determine Who Bombed Boston

FBI investigators are working nonstop to try and determine who it was that bombed the Boston marathon.

At this point, no arrests have been made.

Due to rumors flooding out of the press, the FBI has asked people to ensure that they only listen to official statements from them.

The FBI does have two suspects in the bombing, but have not identified them.

They are asking for the public's help in sending any pictures from before the bombs went off.

Authorities have identified the third person killed as Lu Lingzi, a Chinese citizen who was studying at Boston University.
